Answer 1

The total budgeted gross sales for March for Carla Vista Candy Manufacturing Inc. is $827, calculated by summing the sales from various payment methods for the provided number of premium and regular candy pieces.

Step-by-step explanation:

Carla Vista Candy Manufacturing Inc. projects sales through different payment methods for both premium and regular candy pieces. To calculate the total budgeted gross sales for March, we need to multiply the amount of each type of candy by its price and sum the totals. Premium candies cost $2 per piece and regular candies cost $1 per piece. Here's the breakdown:

• Debit Card Sales: Premium (54 × $2) + Regular (54 × $1) = $108 + $54 = $162
• Credit Card Sales: Premium (70 × $2) + Regular (70 × $1) = $140 + $70 = $210
• Cash/Check Sales: Premium (30 × $2) + Regular (30 × $1) = $60 + $30 = $90
• Credit Sales: Premium (100 × $2) + Regular (165 × $1) = $200 + $165 = $365

Adding these together:

$162 + $210 + $90 + $365 = $827

So, the total budgeted gross sales for March is $827.
